Video: "SWAT Bot" defense system launched for SWAT units

A first-of-its-kind mid-sized robot solely for SWAT units acts as a robotic ballistic shield, door breacher, and vehicle remover in situations where it’s unsafe for a person to do the same tasks.

Built by Howe and Howe Technologies in coordination with the Massachusetts State Police, the “Swat Bot” is created from a base platform, a collapsible ballistic shield, and a hardened AR400 steel nose shield to protect those in the line of fire.
